First, guide your child to measure out the bottom section of the brown paper bag and cut out a piece of colored card stock in the same dimension. Glue this rectangle to the bottom of the bag.
Next, help your child place the white belly in the middle of the paper you glued in step #2 and glue it in place.
Glue the bunny’s face to the top flap of the brown paper bag.
Position the bunny’s muzzle in the middle of the face, just below the eyes, and glue it down.
Place the pink cheeks on both sides of the nose and glue it in place.
Assemble the bunny’s ears by gluing the inner ear to the middle of the outer ear.
Finally, encourage your child to glue the finished bunny ears to the back of the brown paper bag.
